ONE would be highly mistaken if he believes the impact of the judgments coming out of the Madras High Court and its Madurai Bench are limited to Tamil Nadu, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said, while addressing a gathering during the 20th anniversary of the setting up of Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Saturday.

Madurai Bench a catalyst for positive social change: CJI

"Madurai Bench is a catalyst for positive social change in the state through its judgments on trans persons' rights and recognising the rights of transgender people to get married. The cases that come before the courts reflect the social milieu and contemporary issues faced by society and also reflect how judges react to such issues. The bench strives to reduce pendency, minimise delays and ensure that every litigant receives a fair hearing, irrespective of social or economic status," he said.
